Seeing any build up on the ponds in the neck of your woods? I was watching a pond a in rollag two weekends ago that was pretty well protected by the wind and that had some ice but it wasn;t very deep either. with that nasty wind we had Friday nothing was left.

I have a feeling i will be out in two more weekends, possibly three, as long as the temps stay cold and we don't get a bunch of wind.

Lets get some info any small lakes starting to ice over. Not asking if its safe to go fishing just if we are making any progress.

I have heard of some bays starting to ice over now on smaller lakes. personally havent seen it yet. I still need to get out this weekend on some bigger water and run some stabil through my boat.

I went by Prairie yesterday and it looked to be about half froze over. Won't be long. I'd bet there will be people fishing hard water this weekend.

Shell Lake, Height of land were froze over last night when I drove by them.

I heard someone was out on leif today in a pop up.

Silver lake had about 3" of ice yesterday. Still too early, but probably this next weekend!!!!

Posted

There was a guy on Tamarac Lake this morning when we drove back from Deer camp. I slowed up and watch him drill a couple holes. it took him 3-4 turns, so I would guess that is about 3"??

I was in the Park Rapids area this last weekend and almost all the lakes had been frozen over by Sunday. I didn't see any brave souls but we will be definitely fishing by thanksgiving.

Fished tonight. There wasn't as much ice as I expected. 3" at most and I only had the stones to walk out about 50 yds. I'll be giving it another few days before venturing out further.

FYI, rumor has it 2 guys fell through a very small lake in 9 fow just north of DL. Needless to say, fish with a friend right now, carry ice picks, and be excessively careful.

Looked like quite a few fishing Longbridge last night and there's some current there even so I'm hoping everything will be accessible soon!

made it out yesterday and found 7 inches of good ice. Was a little bit of water on the ice by the time we left. Dont know how it is after today but I will be out adventuring tomorrow. Fishing wasnt great at all. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. Time to try some new lakes.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?

      but if he really wants I can change the date..

      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.

      My 30 year-old Indy 500 (over 8,000 miles) has been having a mid-range bog for many years now.  It is worse on warm days and when the engine is warmer.  The sled runs fine up to about 1/4 throttle, then runs extremely rich up to 3/4 throttle.  The spark plugs are dark brown (better brown than down?) but not saturated.  8 years ago I moved the clips on the jet needles from the 3rd to the 2nd groove to lean the mixture and it helped for a while.   Should I move the clips to the top groove (temporary solution)? Could the jet needles, needle jets, and/or the main jets be warn and need replacement?   Don't think I will have time to tear the carbs apart this season for a rebuild so I may just band-aid the problem.

      I think that Mike89 picked April 26 two hours before you, jparrucci.  Is that correct Mike89?

      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳

      I remember that kegel… stuff….!   just finished my post work latte as a matter of fact!  Only the second case of those I’ve ever bought.     I’d get Mike something better.
    • jparrucci
